FORCED “EX-GAY THERAPY” LED CHILD TO HIS DEATH

“Ex-gay” therapy is scientifically proven child abuse.

The American Psychological Association stated “Although sound data on the safety of SOCE are extremely limited, some individuals reported being harmed by SOCE. Distress and depression were exacerbated. Belief in the hope of sexual orientation change followed by the failure of the treatment was identified as a significant cause of distress and negative self-image (Beckstead & Morrow, 2004; Shidlo & Schroeder, 2002).”

“A California Senate committee today advanced SB 1172 ,a bill that would help protect citizens from harmful, ineffective ex-gay therapy. The law does not outright ban all ex-gay therapy, but it does prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from undergoing sexual orientation change efforts.”
